Solved!! "Audio" folder becomes "read-only"


ot ouss

Question

When I save the project with new file name, sometimes attached message pops up.
This does not happen frequently but surely does.
Does anyone have similar experience and know why it happens?
My solution is 
- Rename "Audio" folder to "Audio1"
- Create new "Audio" folder
- Copy all files in "Audio1" folder back to new "Audio"
Now I can save the project with new name.

I guess something my operation could cause this problem but I have no clue.

Thank you for your support in advance.

I've got this same exact problem now - it has happened several times in the last few weeks. I want to "save a copy" of my project, then get the error that the folder is read only.

If I go to the folder in question and then change it to uncheck "read only" and hit apply, then it is *immediately* (literally before I can do anything) reverted back to read only again. So something is changing it back to read only. Super annoying.

 

Edit: Ironically, I actually can save it TO the audio folder if I want, then manually move them back into the regular project folder.

This is a self follow-up.
I've figured out why this problem happens and am able to duplicate it as follows.
If I change the properties of the "Audio" folder from default to say "Documents" the attribute of the Audio folder changed from D (default) to RD (Read only).
According to Microsoft this is Windows spec.
In this condition I can not save the project with new file name (save as) but I can save it without file name change.
I feel this is too strict from user view point and CbB should accept "RD" condition but now I can live with this condition as I can avoid the situation with care.
